I guess it all depends on where you jump into the fray with this parallelism stuff. In the server world, most of the applications are concerned with transaction throughput and the number of simultaneous user requests that can be successfully processed. So various schemes are concocted to deal with the load of simultaneous user requests. So multicore configurations have an obvious application at the server level. In the application world, things are not always so clear, but requirements for concurrency pop up.
